Haha love them Scientologist.

Katie Holmes' mission impossible will be giving birth without painkillers - or screaming.
That's because her fiancé, "Mission Impossible" star Tom Cruise, is a Scientologist.

Practitioners of Scientology are against drugs but insist on "silent birth" because they believe it's traumatic for babies to hear their mothers groan or cry.

"Maintain silence in the presence of birth to save the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go," church founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote in his best-selling "Dianetics."

That's easier to preach than practice.

Another famous Scientologist, actress Kelly Preston, told Redbook magazine in 2000 that she screamed for an epidural while giving birth at home to daughter Ella.

But her husband, actor John Travolta, who is also a Scientologist, didn't have time to drive Preston to the hospital.

"It got hard-core at the end because she was big," Preston said of her 13-hour ordeal.

Travolta later described it as a "beautiful, still experience that lovingly brings a child into the world without screaming or talking."

Of course, he didn't have the baby.

Scientologists also favor seven days of silence for newborns so their first week on Earth is trauma-free. But this has run afoul of state-mandated blood tests, which require at least a pinprick.

Why does she follow scientology so well, but she doesn't follow the Christian religion that her parents were strict about? is it because Tom doess tuff to her that no one else does?
 
Note to Tom Cruise. The reason you are going bananas is because you really do need to be on the psychiatric medicine the Scientologists are forbidding you to take.

Yeah, I personally think it is more traumatic for a baby to hear ones mom moan or scream.
 
I didnt have any painkillers for my first child.....I screamed alot, it hurt🙁 I opted for some basic stuff during the birth of my second child. Nothing heavy, just took the edge off. Never had an epidural.
